How to Configure to ETC's Default Configuration
Preparation
A computer (Mac or PC) with Pathscape DMX Software | Pathway Connectivity installed is required for configuring Pathway switches. The computer's network interface must be set to a 10.x.x.x range with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0

Add / Log Into / Join Security Domain
If you are starting with all factory defaulted Pathway switches, you will need to create the ETC security domain. If you are reconfiguring a switch previously configured by ETC and have not factory defaulted it, you can join the ETC security domain by using the password "etc". If you are adding a switch previously factory defaulted to a system with existing ETC configured gateways or switches, you can join the device after logging in.
Adding Security Domain
- Navigate to the Security Menu and Choose "New Domain..."
- Enter "etc" in all of the fields
- Click Next
- Select the Device(s) that you want to join the Security Domain (note you have to have a device in order to create a security domain)
- Click Next
- Check the box for "I have saved the Recovery Key" and click Finish
Logging into ETC Security Domain
Devices that have been configured for the ETC security domain will show the lock in amber and the "etc" name in the domain
- Navigate to the Security menu and choose "Log in..."
- Select the "etc" domain from the drop down menu if there is more than one domain present and enter the password "etc"
- Note: The number in parentheses following the domain name is the number of devices online in that security domain.
- Click Finish
- The padlock icon should turn green for devices in the "etc" security domain when successfully logged in
Adding a New Device to the Existing ETC Security Domain
If you have factory defaulted one or more switches but have other gateways or switches still in the ETC domain, you can add the factory defaulted devices to the existing ETC Security Domain.
- Be sure you are logged into the security domain following the process in the previous section (pasword: etc)
- Navigate to the Security menu and choose "Administration..."
- Select the "etc" domain from the drop down menu if there is more than one domain present and enter the password "etc" to log into the Security Domain Admin
- Click {Add} in the "Devices in Domain" section of the Domain Administration Utilities:
- Select devices that are "Ready to Secure" that you wish to add followed by Add Devices
- Note: the Add Devices to Security Domain dialog will close
- When complete, choose Finish
